• Water Treatment: Hydrated lime is used in water treatment to remove impurities and improve water quality. It can also be used to disinfect water and control pH levels. The calcium hydroxide reacts with impurities in the water to form solids that can be removed.HYDRATED LIME is a key chemical used in the production of copper concentrate and in other copper mining processes:
  • Flotation
    Quicklime is used to control pH levels and maintain alkalinity in the flotation process. It also acts as a depressant to help recover copper ore.
  • Neutralization
    Quicklime is used to neutralize acidic solutions and effluents from acid plants.
  • Impurity removal
    Quicklime removes impurities like phosphorus, silica, and sulfur.
  • Metal extraction
    Quicklime is used to extract and recover metals through precipitation or leaching processes.
  • Tailings management
    Lime products are used to treat process water, flood water, and rainwater before returning them to nature.
  • pH regulation
    Lime milk made of quicklime or slaked lime is used to regulate pH values in concentration plants.

Scrubber
A dilute suspension of hydrated lime in water, called "milk-of-lime", is used in scrubbers to neutralize noxious gas fumes like SO2. This prevents the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere and corrosion of plant equipment.

• Soil Stabilization: Hydrated lime is used in soil stabilization to improve the strength and stability of soil, particularly in road construction and building foundations. It can also be used to treat soils that are too acidic or too saline.
• Construction Industry: Hydrated lime is used in the construction industry as a binding agent in mortar and plaster. It can also be used to improve the workability and setting time of concrete. In addition, it can be used as a filler material in asphalt and as a soil stabilizer.
• Chemical Industry: Hydrated lime is used in the chemical industry as a raw material to produce calcium-based chemicals such as calcium carbonate, calcium hypochlorite, and calcium phosphate. These chemicals are used in a wide range of applications, including in the production of fertilizer, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.
• Agriculture: Hydrated lime is used in agriculture to adjust soil pH levels and reduce soil acidity, which can improve crop yields. It can also be used as a soil disinfectant and to control certain pests.
• Food Industry: Hydrated lime is used in the food industry as a food additive, particularly in the production of tortillas, where it helps to soften the corn kernels and make them easier to grind. It can also be used as a preservative and pH regulator in foods such as pickles, canned fruits, and vegetables.
• Environmental Remediation: Hydrated lime is used in environmental remediation to neutralize acidic or hazardous waste materials. It can also be used to stabilize and solidify contaminated soil and waste materials, making them easier to handle and dispose of.

• Construction Industry: Limestone is used in the construction industry as a building material and as a component in cement, concrete, and asphalt. It is used to create structures such as buildings, bridges, and roads, and is prized for its durability and strength.
• Agriculture: Limestone is used in agriculture to neutralize acidic soils and improve soil fertility. It can also be used as a calcium supplement for livestock and as a filler material in animal feed.Rock Limestone is used in copper smelting to break down into quicklime (calcium oxide) and carbon dioxide gas, which helps separate copper from other minerals:
  • Flotation
    Quicklime is used to control pH levels and maintain alkalinity in the flotation process. It also acts as a depressant to help recover copper ore.
  • Neutralization
    Quicklime is used to neutralize acidic solutions and effluents from acid plants.
  • Impurity removal
    Quicklime removes impurities like phosphorus, silica, and sulfur.
  • Metal extraction
    Quicklime is used to extract and recover metals through precipitation or leaching processes.
  • Tailings management
    Lime products are used to treat process water, flood water, and rainwater before returning them to nature.
  • pH regulation
    Lime milk made of quicklime or slaked lime is used to regulate pH values in concentration plants.
• Steel Industry: Limestone is used in the steel industry as a fluxing agent to remove impurities from the steel. It reacts with the impurities to form slag, which can be removed from the steel.
• Chemical Industry: Limestone is used in the chemical industry as a raw material to produce calcium-based chemicals such as calcium carbonate and calcium chloride. These chemicals have a wide range of applications, including in the production of plastics, pharmaceuticals, and fertilizers.
• Glass Industry: Limestone is used in the glass industry to create soda-lime glass, which is the most common type of glass. It is also used to produce other types of glass, such as lead glass and borosilicate glass.
• Environmental Remediation: Limestone can be used in environmental remediation to neutralize acidic waste materials and improve water quality. It can also be used to reduce the effects of acid rain on soil and vegetation.
• Decorative Use: Limestone is prized for its natural beauty and is often used as a decorative material in buildings and landscaping. It is used for flooring, walls, countertops, and other decorative features.
